What he said!
It's especially a nice upgrade for those of us with jack and shit for a rearview with tire carriers. How much did these cost you in total [MENTION=44305]weeeee[/MENTION] ?

That's funny, [MENTION=129593]MTN4RNR[/MENTION] just texted me asking the same. I asked a buddy of mine in the parts department for a favor and paid about $90 for both. I haven't searched these part numbers online yet so I have no idea what they list for.
Edit: Looks like they are about $50/each online. Kind of steep but I like the look of them over my stick on mirrors. I will say that the stick ons are more convex so they have a little bit more coverage though.

Ha. Called over to Toyota Sunnyvale because I am dropping off one of my work trucks there today for servicing anyways. Just a call to the parts dept. with no "buddy discount" yields $87/side plus tax. I will be looking over my shoulder haha.

I'll order these and get them when I get back to Portland. But 100 ain't bad. The stick on one sort of sucks.
OEM Blind Spot Mirror Retrofit
I noticed that quite a few Toyota models currently share the same side mirrors. I debated whether or not I wanted to retrofit the blind spot monitoring system onto the 4Runner, but decided against it because I will probably not get much use out of it.
Instead, I retrofitted a side view mirror from a 2016+ RAV4 with the integrated blind spot mirror. These look way better than the stick-on convex mirrors I had before.
Literally all you need is the actual mirror element from the RAV4. You will retain the factory heating, etc. and it all bolts up.
Here's the part numbers:
Gently pry off the original mirror, remove the OEM heater connector and you'll end up with this
Put the new mirror in
All done. This mod took me about 5 minutes to complete :banana:
Great mod! Does the RH pass side mirror have the same convex mirror?
This is great. Do you know if the mirror is the same dimension on the 2010-2013 4runners?

Yikes that's expensive. I'll check around elsewhere but online they're $50/side.
Yeah mine were the adjustable type and I hated readjusting them every time I cleaned my mirrors. Kind of a pain. These aren't as convex though, but since they sit more outboard than my old mirrors it still gives good enough coverage for me.
Yep, both sides have the blind spot mirror inside.
Unfortunately not, only the 2014+ share the same mirrors. However I'm sure you could swap in the entire mirror assembly if you really wanted it to work.

Great Mod!!!! Glad I came I'm just going to wait until mine break to justify it, and then it will happen.

Yes it is. If I did it again I'd cut a Limited bumper skin instead. Neither the Demello or the SW fill plates are a perfect fit. I believe Demello stopped offering fill plates for exactly this reason.

Just put some white duct tape over the gaps. Problem solved, perfect fit.

Unfortunately I got into an accident not too long ago. The other car was totalled out, but fortunately my Demello bumper saved the rig from a whole lot more damage. Everything was fixed, and I have another front bumper on the way along with my CBI rear.
Haven't gone anywhere nice for a while, guess this thread deserves some poser shots.

I was just lamenting to myself today about the lack of updates on this thread. Glad nobody was hurt(nobody was hurt, right??)
Any pictures of the crash damage? Everybody likes to see crash damage...especially when an armored bumper is involved!

Thanks guys! No one was hurt. I won't share any photos of the other vehicle but it fared a lot worse than the 4Runner.
Damage was relatively minor on the truck- just a new headlight and fender and a hood respray. Insurance also wanted me to replace the front bumper before they started the repairs since it's aftermarket. I thought this was an odd request since the bumper seemed fine except some missing powdercoat but I obliged. I got a good deal through Mark on a SW so the Demello will be up for sale soon.

Alex is a good friend of mine, we went and did our photoshoot here the same day. Pretty sure he has me beat with his LT and 35s though :thumb:
